Seven Books I’m Looking Forward to in March
Guys, I forgot how many INCREDIBLE books are coming out this month?! Who knew that March was such a promising month for book releases! There are so many books that I can’t wait to read coming out this month that I had to shout out more than five. Woot!
Legacy of the Clockwork Key: The Secret Order #1 by Kristin Bailey
I’m sorry, did someone say the name of this series is “The Secret Order”? I mean, honestly. It does have a definite steampunky aspect, which isn’t always my jam, but this whole secret order/dangerous invention/stable boy romance are pushing all of my good buttons. (Simon Pulse, March 5)
Let the Sky Fall: Let the Sky Fall #1 by Shannon Messenger
WORD WEATHER! I love reading about weather, and this book about elementals is totally up my alley. TOTALLY. (Simon Pulse, March 5)
Strands of Bronze and Gold: Strands of Bronze and Gold #1 by Jane Nickerson
I will forever die to read fairy tale retellings. FOREVER. The Bluebeard tale is…pretty dark, friends. What with all those DEAD BODIES being kept locked up in a room and whatnot. But this Southern Gothic retelling sounds like the bees knees. (Random House Children’s, March 12)
Poison by Bridget Zinn
LOOK AT THAT PIGGEH!! Also, debut fantasy about a girl who must poison her former BFF–and the king–in order to save her home from destruction…except her plan to assassinate the king FAILS and she has to go on the run. Sounds AWESOME. (Disney Hyperion, March 12)
Clockwork Princess: The Infernal Devices #3 by Cassandra Clare
I’m listening to book 2, CLOCKWORK PRINCE, right now and I’m really digging it (maybe this has something to do with the fact that Ed Westwick–who has THE hottest voice EVER–narrates some of it). I’m obviously not sure yet what hangs in the balance for this series’ conclusion, but I’m confident that it’s going to be insane. (Margaret K. McElderry Books, March 19)
The Art of Wishing: The Art of Wishing #1 by Lindsay Ribar
I just right now realized that this book–a debut about a young girl who meets and falls for a genie–is going to be a series. Super! Bring it, genie lovers! Also: the author is a Jersey girl. PROPS. (Dial BFYR, March 21)
Going Vintage by Lindsey Leavitt
Friends, SEAN GRISWOLD’S HEAD was one of the most surprising in the best way ever books I’ve read. This one, about a girl who eschews all modern technology when her boyfriend cheats on her, sounds adorable with lots of room for meaningfulness. (Bloomsbury, March 26)
I’m so interested to start hearing things about The Art of Wishing! And also I read Strands of Bronze and Gold on vacation…it took me FOREVER to get into it, but once I did, it was pretty awesome. TOTAL CREEPER ALERT.
I’m really excited to read both of those! This TOTAL CREEPER ALERT is kind of something I’m expecting with Strands of Bronze and Gold because I think Bluebeard is a total creeper inherently. I hope I don’t lose interest!
FINALLY, someone else who is as excited as I am about Going Vintage! !!! IT IS SO GOOD, Amy! I happened to get to read a galley via NetGalley and I was just blown away. I already downloaded Sean Griswold’s Head because I definitely want to read more from Lindsey!
YAY!! Sean Griswold’s Head was fantastic, Molli. I really hope you get a chance to read it soon! Going Vintage sounds adorable and so interesting. I love the idea of unplugging and not just acting like a modern person who is retro, but BEING retro. Sounds fun!
I’m pretty excited for Strands of Bronze and Gold! It sounds like it’s going to be a pretty awesome retelling 🙂
It does! I’m pretty excited about it, too!
Freakin’ all of these are on my TBR! Seriously, March is going to be an amazing month. AND OMG I am so pumped up to read Going Vintage, I love Lindsey Leavitt (which reminds me I need to read her other Princess For Hire books — I’ve only read the 2nd one).
